Hong Kong based brand Angry Lane – known for their high-end leather jackets and one-of-a-kind custom motorcycles – are partnering up with Pacsafe to bring two new bags to market. Launching on Kickstarter today (17.08.17) the ‘Ultimate Riding Bags’ Backpack and Helmet Bag will feature Pacsafe’s patented anti-theft tech, wrapped up in Angry Lanes’ premium…

There are lots of components on a motorcycle, but the battery is pretty much the most important one of all – without it you’ve pretty much just got yourself a big, expensive ornament. Actual human beings used to spend Saturday mornings in their shed, checking the electrolyte levels in their batteries and topping them…

Remember life before remote controls? Having to actually get up, walk over to the telly and change the channel? Madness. Well, the lovely people at Sena have taken it a step further, and have now made it so we don’t even have to move our arm all the way up to our helmet to answer…

Tributes paid to professional rider as motorcycle stunt for the Marvel sequel goes tragically wrong . A female stunt rider was killed whilst performing a motorcycle stunt in Vancouver on Monday for the movie Deadpool 2. Joi ‘SJ’ Harris was believed to have been doubling for Zazie Beetz – who plays new character Dominon in…

There was a time when the rider on pole would be the unequivocal favourite to win the race on Sunday, unless something strange had happened in qualifying of course. The podium was fairly simple to predict before the lights went out and while the racing was good it wasn’t always a “help I think my…

Bored with your R nineT Scrambler? Well, be bored no more my friend: BMW accessory specialists, Wunderlich, have created this rather tasty looking special to demonstrate what you could do with a copy of their catalogue and (probably) a rather large fistfull of Euros. It’s called ‘Green Hell’ (we’re not sure why) and is inspired…

In defence of the Ducati aerodynamic solution. Every other opinion on the internet seems to be that the new, advanced ‘hammerhead’ aerodynamic setup that Ducati have been steadily developing this season is butt ugly. Seriously, just look at a quick sample of the responses to Ducati’s proud tweet about their technology earlier this month: …

Two wheels are good. Three wheels might be better. A couple of weeks ago, we wrote about the crazy Yamaha Tricity advert and – if we’re being honest – we don’t think we’ve still properly recovered. This isn’t about that exactly, but it does look like Yamaha are starting to place more emphasis onto their clever,…

Marc Marquez secured his 70th Grand Prix pole position at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, further strengthening his position at the top of the records sheet ahead of Jorge Lorenzo with 65 GP poles and Valentino Rossi with 64. Track conditions were close to perfect for MotoGP qualifying and after Danilo Petrucci and Dani…

Imagine being a celebrity. Constantly hounded by the press, no moment of your life passes by without the world watching. It must be exhausting. There was a time once, at The Goodwood Revival, that I kicked off my high heels and ran from the Veuve tent to the end of the pits, chasing Patrick Stewart.…

It’s the world’s longest, slowest, corporate death. In June, the Welsh government decided against providing an additional £210 million worth of taxpayer-funded guarantees towards the construction of the Circuit of Wales in Ebbw Vale, and without that money, the future of the entire project was placed in absolute limbo. Now that limbo status would appear…

“Not every jacket and trouser has to be black or black with contrast colours…” So reads the opening sentence in the PR for Spada’s new ‘Turini’ two-piece, adventure-style textile suit. Riddle me this then Spada: why must every Turini suit have to be in the one Platinum/Blue/Viz colourway? Livery aside, Spada have packed a fair…

From the forests of Brno to the rolling green mountainous hills of Spielberg, MotoGP has arrived at stop number 11 on the 2017 calendar, the Austrian Grand Prix. Much like Brno, the Red Bull Ring is home to elevation changes, with an altitude difference of 65 metres from the highest point to the lowest. Over…

Triumph and Bajaj join forces to continue their assaults upon the motorcycle market. Did you know that the current MD of Triumph India used to work for Bajaj? We’re guessing that someone is enjoying an extra bottle of champagne this weekend. That’s because of the news that Triumph Motorcycles and Bajaj Auto are about to…
